Chocolate Wafflez

Franci5 In their first week, they are watered only with water at a pH of 6.2 and an EC of 0.4.😄

Franci5 In their second week, they are watered only with water at a pH of 6.2 and an EC of 0.4. The growing bed is prepared, but they are kept in their 1L pots.👌

Franci5 In the third week, fertilizers are added, and the plants are lightly pruned to encourage diagonal growth. I also tuck the leaves to allow light to penetrate, and transfer the plants to the growing bed.😋

Franci5 Despite the problem with my humidifier stopping working, the genetics adapted well to these conditions; only one of the plants showed signs of stress which were corrected in the new growth, I don't have the money for a new one, so I'm going to continue growing it this way. I hope everything turns out alright.

Franci5 The plants have finally exploded in growth, the LST is working great for them and they also have giant leaves and stems, I'm excited for these weeks of constant training

Franci5 At this point, it seems like I'm growing bonsai trees, hahaha, but I want to make the most of the available growing space and have them grow with multiple main branches

Franci5 I consider the objective of each side branch receiving direct light to be a success because the LST has performed incredibly well. There are currently 28 "main branches," and I want to draw attention to this genetic's ability to branch, it can actually develop additional plants from a single seed.😍😍

Franci5 I finally changed the photoperiod, and I'm very happy with how everything has gone. The last flush watering worked well to get the plant back to a fresh start with the flowering fertilizers.

Franci5 It's been a long time since I updated it, (three days longer than expected), but “technically” it's the second week since it was changed to 12/12 (05/02/2026). The stretch is noticeable, but with the techniques applied, it remained very much in check. I stood firm on not having very tall branches, but rather ones distributed throughout the net. Today it already has a structure that I like so that it can grow vertically with less support or training on my part. Depending on how I see them, I will do the first defoliation a little more aggressively, cutting low buds that will produce practically nothing. Today, 02/18/2026, is day 14 of the light change. Do it in the final stretch, around day 21-22, when vertical growth is slowing down but before the buds start to fatten significantly (which usually happens from week 4-5). I had a problem this week with the first watering (I'm an idiot) and while I was trying to adjust the fertilizer doses, I completely forgot to measure the pH. Four days later, I watered again, this time with a pH adjusted to 5.8, which is a little lower than I usually water, to force a slight drop (I calculated that the solution had ended up at around 7.4 that day). I watered more quickly to force some drainage, and it all ended up being a close call. That's why some leaves are a little paler green than the others. I associated it with a small nutrient blockage, but with the adjustment that was made, there was no further problem.
